With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG enabled, the kernel strictly enforces that
indirect function calls use a function pointer type that matches the
target function. I ran into the following type mismatch when running
BPF self-tests:

   CFI failure at bpf_obj_free_fields+0x190/0x238 (target:
     bpf_crypto_ctx_release+0x0/0x94; expected type: 0xa488ebfc)
   Internal error: Oops - CFI: 00000000f2008228 [#1]  SMP
   ...

As bpf_crypto_ctx_release() is also used in BPF programs and using
a void pointer as the argument would make the verifier unhappy, add
a simple stub function with the correct type and register it as the
destructor kfunc instead.

We are not really creating a kfunc here. The function is merely
to be used for destructor. So you can replace '__bpf_kfunc' with
'__used __retain'.
